Changes?

 How much do I enjoy posting old photos on this blog.  It started out as a way of organizing an ever growing collection of cabinet cards, snapshots, real photo postcards, and nothing more.   Anyway, as time passed, I came to really enjoy posting my collection.

Fact is, my circa 1998 computer just died.  I picked up a nice, refurbished computer and thought I was well on my way to more and more found photography on the net.  Sadly, while I was able to download the software for my equally old scanner, the new system won't work with that scanner's drivers. (I also wasn't able to retrieve my files.)  Sooner or latter, I'll pick up another scanner.  I've already sent emails to Craig's List sellers, and with any luck I'll pick up something soon.  If not, be patient.  The New Found Photography is down for awhile, with luck, no more than a few days.  But if it's longer than that, rest assured, some day.

In the mean time Fair Use is still up and running.  I've just posted three new photos, with more photographs, paintings, and other assorted web finds to come.

True Found Photography

Most of my found photographs are found in antique stores, at flea markets, and on EBay.  I found this one on a Hollywood street.  Who knows how it ended up there.  I suspect this one came out of a digital camera.

Just because I don't subscribe to other found photography blogs, it doesn't mean that I don't visit those sites.  There are a handful that I visit almost every day, and a number of others that I click on a few times a week to a few times a month.  Anyway, my life has just been made easier by the discovery of a directory of found and vernacular photography websites, www.freetherefills.net/foundphotographysites.  Some of those listed are already favorites, and many I had never heard of until now.  Well worth a visit by anyone with a passion for old, discarded images.
